Operating the RCA RCR4273 Universal Remote Control

Operating the RCA RCR4273 Universal Remote Control 

Using the Remote to Control Your Components:

Because this remote controls more than one component, you must first “tell” the remote which component you wish to operate. That means, if you wish to operate your TV, you must first press the TV key to put the remote in the TV Mode. The remote stays in the chosen component mode (such as TV Mode) until you change it. If your remote is in TV Mode, you must change the mode in order to operate your DVD or VCR, satellite receiver or cable box. For example, if you are in VCR Mode, and you wish to turn off your TV, you must press the TV key first before pressing the POWER key.

Accessing Component Menus and Guides:

Today’s advanced components use on-screen menus to help you navigate through all their features and functions. While this remote may not access every menu or guide system of every component model, it does offer some menu and guide functionality.

To use a component’s on-screen menu or guide system, you first have to put the remote in Menu or Guide Mode.

1. Make sure your components are turned on and your TV is set to the component’s input (Use the INPUT key to toggle through inputs when in TV Mode.)
2. Press the component key whose menu you want to access.
3. To access menus, press the MENU key. To access guides, press the GUIDE key. The LED blinks, indicating you are in the Menu or Guide Mode.
4. Use the VOL+/- and/or CH+/- keys to navigate through the on-screen menu or guide system.
5. To make a selection from the onscreen menu, press the OK key to select the highlighted item.
   Tip: If the remote doesn't respond, check to see that the LED is still blinking. The LED times out after 20 seconds. If this happens, just press the MENU key again, and then retry your selection.

Exiting a Menu Mode:

The remote automatically times out of Menu Mode after 20 seconds of inactivity (no keys being pressed). At that time, the remote clears the displayed menu from the TV.

If you want to exit the Menu Mode yourself, press the corresponding component key on the remote. The LED turns off.
